Amstrad zone :: Old news

Our last update was a month and a half ago, so we have to say a collective "our fault" out loud.

CEZ has been growing progressively since its beginning, more than 7 years ago. We have had months with a lot of activity, some others with less, and that, obviously, affects the number and periodicity of the uploads. The main reason is our real life, which usually demands a lot of our time and preferences.

Even though, we are not dead, Don't even think about it : We are preparing some changes in the site to make everything easier and to let more information get to you (That's why we have stopped adding new game cards these last two years), we keep writing new games (stay tuned), and, most of all, we keep participating in the forums, where you will be able to see (although it doesn't seem at first sight) that we are doing a lot of stuff, preparing new surprises, and sharing opinions, memories and projects. So we invite you all to participate in our forums, where you can find really friendly and interesting people, who love the 8 and 16 bits computers.

And finally here it is the impressive and amazing second version of Phantomas Saga: Infinity, which comes from the original Spectrum game to show you how the Alan Sugar computer can be taken to the limit!

You can download it for free, as always, in the CEZ Games Studio website.

A real gem, you must believe us, where Artaburu shows his evolution as a z80 coder (with all the ESP soft team helping him out), and where a new graphist, DadMan from CEZ TEAM, makes an awesome debut. You can’t miss it, and please let us know what you think about the game in the forums. :smile:

The past week-end a lot of people could see the ESP/CEZ Team New game: the conversion for Amstrad CPC of the well-known Phantomas Saga: Infinity.

This version features new graphics, according to the CPC's cappacities

You will have the game ready for download here. Coming soon!

In the forum you can see the last shots we've published about this CEZ RD superproduction.
The map is almost complete, and also the design.
Benway (coder) is now going to think about the enemies, while Lord Fred (graphics) continues drawing pure art.

At last, we're proud to present you two games whose were presented at the past MadriSX edition, Gates to Hell and Phantomas Saga: Infinity.

You can download them free from CEZ Games Studio page.

We hope you'll enjoy so much as we did coding them.

P.S. It's available in the net an unofficial and incomplete version of Infinity, uploaded to a server by a "likeable" (and cowardly) guy. Be careful, it could be infected by a virus, so download the game only from the official site (this site). :wink:

Computer Emuzone Games Studio presents two new games with two different characters, on its second year in MadriSX.

One of those guys is an old one in the scene, a well-known thief in the 8-bit Universe, with hours and hours of gameplay.
CEZ GS proudly presents a brand new adventure of this hero, exclusively designed for the machine where he was born.

The other game is starring by a freak of the CPC machines, who will put his life in danger, going beyond the Gates of Hell, to save the Humanity from an evil Operating System...

Aside from this two new features, there will be available the rest of our game's catalogue.

We've released a new version of Sir Fred - El Remake, our most downloaded game (near 5000 downloads), with a 9,26 rating of more than 300 votes.

Clicking here you could take a look to the news that have been incorporated to this new version.

Like ever, we'll wait for your opinions at the forum (to write about this game is not necessary to be registered).

- Fixed problems with shadows and random hangs.
- Fixed memory leak.
- Increased the period within you can press the direction keys to swing in ropes.
- Fixed rope swinging: if you are not moving in a rope, Sir Fred will react instantly to keypresses.
- Changed the order in which "OPTIONS" and "PLAY" appear in the main menu. Now "PLAY" is set as the first option (selected by default).
- Fixed some spelling errors.
- Fixed the damage levels. Now the amount of damage is related to Sir Fred's actions i.e. if you fall from a higher level you get more damage.
- Clouds no longer blink.
- Added Anderson_JAG as betatester.
- Added Joystick support. No setup needed: if you have a joystick plugged in, you can use it.
- Save/Load games from the pause menu.

At last !!!!!!!!! Sir Fred - The Remake has been released!

We were wishing it, what impatience! For a long long time, since Daniel Celemin (Lord Fred) wrote his first post about the project, since he opened his page. But it's not time for words :wink:... Yeah! It's the moment for doing a single thing: to play this masterpiece.

We are anxious to see your reaction, to read your impressions... Don't doubt to write whatever you think about the game in the thread we've opened in the forum. Enjoy it!!

The time is coming ... We are correcting even the smallest bugs to bring you the masterpiece you've been waiting for, keeping the original game created by [i]Made in Spain[/i] in a high quality level. (more...)

Celebrating the decission, we proudly present the only demo of the game that will show up before the final release (no current date yet). The objective is to find the bunker of Microsoft, in order to complete our mission.

Finally, after a long and hard time working, the game coded by Daniel Celemin (LordFred) is on CEZ GS beta testers hands. They are working at 110% in order to make posible the release of one of the best remakes ever made (it's really amazing!).

Our second news article is a complement of one of the most complete interviews we've done: the one with Alfonso Fdez. Borro.
In this occasion, Alfonso met with a representative retrofans group, in order to show them some of his better kept secrets.
Pay attention, coz when you'll read the article, you'll discover on of the most ambitious projects of CEZ Games Studio. And I can't tell you more :wink:.

In the next weeks you'll be able to attend the opening of the first demo of one of the remakes more expected of the moment... A Remake that has mobilized a great group of collaborators, all of them members of CEZ Games Studio.

You couldn't wait more!

We've added a new section to CEZ (Computer Emuzone). We've been thinking about for some time, but now, with the celebration of a conference about Spanish videogames at Zaragoza with the asistence of some famous spanish programmers, we've decided that this section must be an articles zone.

You must use a web translator to read the articles, coz we'll write them only in Spanish due to the lack of time, but we hope it won't be a great inconvenient for you.

Now enjoy with this first article, wrote by Deivid and Anjuel.

ESP soft, creators of the extraordinary Columns come back with a new ambitious and colorfull project, wich will take advantage of the Amstrad CPC possibilities. By the moment, they are developing the sprites and maps. You can watch the development here.
